‘Artificial intelligence cannot exceed dogs’ intelligence,’ says meta manager

According to Yann LeCun, head of Meta Artificial Intelligence (AI), most AI resources on the market today are no smarter than dogs. The executive’s statement came after he was asked about the current limitations of the AI ​​space at a panel at the VivaTech 2023 conference in Paris, France, last Wednesday (14).

The expert then talked about the field of Generative Artificial Intelligence and specifically about language models, which according to him are not very smart because they are trained only with textual data. It’s worth remembering that AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, and Midjourney, Inc’s Midjourney are influencing many people and tech enthusiasts around the world.

“These systems are still very limited, they don’t have any understanding of the deeper reality of the real world because they are all trained through texts, huge chunks of text,” Lecun said. not caught by artificial intelligence”.

LeCun even made a simple comparison to reinforce his idea and said that right now an AI system can pass a complex exam, for example, to become a lawyer in the USA. On the other hand, the same system wouldn’t know how to program a dishwasher, “something a 10-year-old can learn in 10 minutes.” The Meta official concluded: “What this means is that something huge is missing… achieving not only human intelligence, but even a dog’s intelligence.”
